The exhaust...

Here is a comparisson between the original exhaust and the new stainless steel dimmensioned extractor exhaust that is now fitted to my Beetle!! Click on the photo for a larger version. The car now sounds much better and sportier plus there was a noticeable increase in power and torque!!

Just a reminder on the "which tacho" poll...

Hi, just a quick reminder regarding the poll on the top right corner of this blog. I need help deciding which tachometer to use and where to mount it!

Once again, the choices are:

1- in-dash, next to speedometer, for that stock look.

2- Autometer Monster 5inch tacho mounted in the middle of the dash, just under the windscreen.
